Is it possible to save a text thread from iPhone?

I realize that the thread will be saved on the phone itself until I delete it, but I want to save a text thread forever by copying and pasting it to an e-mail or document. Is this possible? I can't figure out how to do it….I have an iPhone 4s.

You can copy the messages by tapping and holding on a message, which will bring up a copy option. You can also select more which will allow you to select multiple messages, which you can then press the arrow in the bottom right to "forward" them. Instead of forwarding them you could then highlight the text in the box and copy and paste it into a note or email.
You could also "Screen capture" the messages by pressing the home and lock button at the same time to take a picture of the screen.

  • How do you save a text thread from being deleted off your phone?

    I want to save a specific text thread on my phone. Due to the fact that my phone on stores 90 days worth of texts this conversation will be deleted soon. How do I keep it on my phone?

    Are you using the stock messaging app, Verizon Messages, or another messaging app?  Each may have a different way of saving messages - long press a message in the thread, or long press the thread itself and see what aoptions you have.
    Using Verizon Messages, I see an option to "Save Messages" - you may be able to "lock" messages preventing deletion too.  Other third party apps allow you to download and save messages to a file you can store on your computer.

    Is it? I was hoping to get some lyrics onto my Ipod. Normally I would use the internet but I'm having issues with the internet. (That's another story for another day).

  • Can you save a text log from iphone to your mac?

    My boyfriend and I are really into language, and we have had some precious, clever, funny conversations over the past few months. I have one huge giant text message going between us that's about three months long, and I would love to download it to my computer to be able to read it. And then delete the original because it's getting huge and unwieldy and takes awhile to open. Plus, he's sent me addresses and such that take forever to go back and find.
    Is there any way to sync text messaging to my mac for backup and access?

    Hello, there's no way to do this from iTunes or the iPhone at the moment but it is possible to extract data from the iPhone backup.
    I use the method covered here: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/10/scanning-your-iphone-backup-files/ to save SMS messages from my iPhone into a text file.
    Without going into too much detail, you convert your iPhone backup into SQLite3 db format via a small Perl script and then open them with a (free) SQLite Database viewer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to transfer text messages from iPhone to iPad?

    Is it possible to transfer text messages from iPhone to iPad?
    I'd like to backup my text conversations to my iPad from my iPhone 4.
    Is there a way of doing so?
    Thanks

    Not without restoring your iPad from the backup of your iPhone, which will revert all data and settings on your iPad to those contained in this backup, not just text message conversations.

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

  • I can't receive text msgs from Iphone users-what gives?

    Hi,  I have had this issue for weeks.  I have been trying to find a solution through t-mobile but so far I still can't receive text messages from Iphone users. It is across the board.  I know about 5 people with Iphones and I can't get text messages from any of them.  Does anyone know why?  By the way, they all can receive my text msgs, no problem, but I can't receive theirs.  Is it because I don't have internet service on my blackberry?  But my friend who has an old Nokia phone with no internet capability receives texts from Iphone users, no problem??  Please help.  
    Thanks! 

    Sounds like you are on the right track. But dealing with carriers is, well, frustrating at best. And inconsistent. If you get a CSR that says they can do nothing. Hang up and call back...until you get someone who can really help.
    And maybe try different paths into support -- for instance, on the BIS login page for VZW, there is a number listed there that is different than any other of their support numbers. I had a problem with BIS once, called there and they got it fixed within 5 minutes. My account rep and other CSR's had been telling me that there was nothing they could do. So persistence wins out.
    Best.

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

    Is there a way to make a video call from my iPhone 4 to a non apple phone? Also is it possible to transfer pics using bluetooth from iPhone to other company mobiles? Its a great phone but sometimes I feel struck inside it.

    You'd need an app like Skype to video call with other phones.
    Data transfer is not supported via bluetooth and iphone to iphone is not supported at all.
